Abstract

The paper discusses kitsch as the discourse of depriving experience of beauty and surprise. It argues that people often construct kitsch when they organize Three different Kitsch- Organizations are depicted: the Polish communist youth organization from the 1950-ties. a foreign enterprise operating currently in Poland, and a school of organizational behavior, Kitsch, not being equivalent to "low" or "popular" culture is a degrading construct, Adopted as a second level metaphor to the studies of organizations, it can be of use for critical social constructivist analysis.
